– NOT YOUR EXPERIMENT
Pictures: Take a lot including of you doing your
experiment but no faces
Where do we start?
Question!
How many Skittles of each color are there in a fun
size packet?
What could we
research?
Topic: Manufacturing of Candy
What does a good
hypothesis look like?
(Summary) If we count how many of each color
Skittles there are in a fun-size bag,
(Expected Result) Then there will be more yellow
ones
(Research) Because in the past it seemed like
yellow was the most common color.
What are my
variables?
Manipulated/Independent Variable:
The thing you (experimenter) is changing
The packet of Skittles

Responding/Dependent Variable:
The thing you are measuring
The number of each color of Skittles

Controls
Things that stay the same for all experiment groups or
trials
Size the of the packet (fun-size)
Type of candy
How do I write a
clear procedure?
Materials:
1 bag of fun-size Skittles per person

Procedures:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Take a fun-size bag of Skittles and open it.
Remove Skittles from the bag.
Sort Skittles by color.
Count how many are in each color group.
Record in data table.
Share data with group and class for further analysis.
What type of data can
I collect?
Data Chart #1: Individual Results

Color
Purple (Grape)
Green (Green Apple)
Yellow (Lemon)
Red (Strawberry)
Orange (Orange)

# Number of Skittles
What should I do with
my data?
Measures of central tendency
Mean, Median, Mode, Range, Standard Deviation

Graph our data
Triple bar graph comparing individual, group and
class
Pie chart
What makes a good
conclusion?
Relate your results to your hypothesis. Do your results
support or reject your hypothesis?
Talk about what you learned and discuss results in
detail.
Sources of error: in measuring, in sample size, etc.
Where do you go from here? What would you do
differently next time? How could you extend the
experiment?
